Kokeshi, the dark Japanese-themed project^※1, [’selvə], the embodiment of violence^※2, and Presence of Soul, guides through the depths of hell. These three masters of darkness weave a sublime dark triangle.

Standout track: #3, Presence of Soul’s “The Trinity – Ⅰ”. Amid crawling, crushing riffs, deep gutturals and ethereal female vocals intertwine in a stunning display. Yet even this beauty is fleeting, swallowed by chaos and vanishing… How far will they go in exploring the depths of darkness? I’m following them to the very end of hell.

_※1_{“Kare wa Dare no Jiu no Naka de”}_{appears on their 2nd album and is therefore omitted.
※2 ’selvə is excluded due to minimal shoegaze elements.}
